about

"Lustrum" is an introspective song that deep dives into the complexities of personal struggle and the weight of memories. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their inner demons and the challenges they face on their journey.

lyrics

Toiling with myself again
The struggle’s never through
The blood and sweat the tears I shed
There’s so much work to do
The leaving’s never easy
They’re always telling you
The time it takes
For heaven’s sake
The healing’s over due

You only had to hold me once
Ya always misconstrue
Ya only had to tell me stay
I’d never followed through
Ho Cromarty and Moray Firth
The places we once knew
All those petty memories
They anything to you

I house my thoughts and tie the knots
My handkerchief is clean
The miles and miles behind us
We come from where we’ve been
I stumble on a memory
Another shot’a you
I’m in and out’a paradise
But don’t enjoy the view

You only had to hold me once
Ya always misconstrue
Ya only had to tell me stay
I’d never followed through
Ho Cromarty and Moray Firth
The places we once knew
All those petty memories
They anything to you

I shout and scream at everything
But all to no avail
There’s nothing there
The cupboard’s bare
It’s gone beyond the pale
So what’s the point in suffering
I might as well go on
It’s laid to waste
Commemorate
The carnival has gone

You only had to hold me once
Ya always misconstrue
Ya only had to tell me stay
I’d never followed through
Ho Cromarty and Moray Firth
The places we once knew
All those petty memories
They anything to you
